Super Secret Chain Wax Coating for Bicycles, 4 Ounces

The Secret of SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube lies in its innovative formula. The project initially aimed to develop the fastest hot-melt wax lubricant available over two years ago, as SILCA had been promoting the benefits of hot melt wax to professional cyclists and triathletes for years. Bringing this formula to customers, however, posed a challenge due to the variations in crockpot designs and temperatures necessary for melting, dipping, and agitating the chain.

This challenge took an exciting turn when SILCA was introduced to technology developed by a group from the world of IndyCar. This technology made it possible to incorporate micro-scale wax powders into a solution that dries quickly and forms a coating indistinguishable from hot melt dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide proved to outperform all current hot melt waxes in friction testing, while also being easier and faster to apply.

Following SILCA's instructions for proper chain cleaning and drying, users should allow the wax to dry and cure on the chain for at least 12, but preferably 24 hours. Applying the super secret chain wax after a ride ensures that the bike is ready for the next adventure, as it is clean to the touch, repels dirt and debris, easy to apply, and saves up to 7 watts compared to other lubes. The product is available in 4oz and 8oz bottles with a precision applicator, as well as a 12oz oversized jar for chain removal and submersion.

SILCA's WS2 technology has produced lubricants in all three lubricant type categories that have made it to block 6 in testing. This includes the current all-time test winner, SILCA Secret Blend hot wax. It is important to note that dry lubricants do not test well and are often not durable in testing.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that are persistent in the environment and in the human body, with evidence suggesting that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health effects. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids and can have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Reducing the wear and friction of bike components, such as the drive train and chain, is not only beneficial for the environment but also for extending the life of parts and protecting investments.

The Super Secret SILCA bike chain lube is available in various sizes and has been highly rated by customers. It is competitively priced, non-toxic, and includes features such as an applicator tip and chain submersion capabilities. The liquid chain wax utilizes nanoscale Tungsten Di-sulfide for a smoother and quieter bike chain experience, making it the perfect addition to any rider's bike maintenance kit.
